She's a breeze,
a cool distraction,
distracting me from reacting
with uncivilised actions
agression is a fraction of me
that you'll seldomly see
due to my feelings on my surroundings
a connection, affection for all
good intentions and to mention my extention of freedom of expression to freedom of thought
I once thought that I would never find love
but now I know we are love and nothing
makes nothing change
no matter how far
the range can't betray the stray feelings
heading your way,
I'm falling again,
and I fear for my safety, it's the truth,
and drinking "Mellissa Juice" the fruits falling
faster
and laughter evades us
as the moment it takes us
drifting
sifting through memories
from past inventories,
sentimentality confuses reality and jealousy
is always the result of a reason.
So I'm falling
crawling
back up to you
swearing I'll comfort
you
feed you thoughts
nurture
you as you
help to pull me through
the days of hazy laziness weekends of eternal bliss
this I can relate
Iv'e been here before and the pieces
of my old life are still sticking slowly
together
So I pray the weather holds
and I pray you hold to me,
and for now i'm looking upwards
and tomorrow I will try
to put my past troubles behind me
and focus on you and I

Wow. This is very much in the style of slam poetry. It really flows nicely.
Good job!
Have you considered doing slam poetry in public?

 

[NeWBoRN]

What is slam poetry?
excuse my ignorance!

Slam poetry is much like free form rapping, but its not to music. It flows nicely, has a message, and the attitude one has while reciting it counts for a lot. In a poetry slam, people take turns reciting their poems and the judges (picked from the audience) decide who is the best at the end. Your style and the attitude your poem gave off reminded me of it.
